I would discourage to use such machine! 8GB means you are using 64 bit

is useful
ONLY if you have applications that can benefit big memory such as
database
systems. In Java, if you use lots of memory and create lots of
objects, your
Java applications will have periodic seisures! This is because of
garbage
collection will take significant time, if started.
Dear Joe - I have more than 1 or 2 of these machines (16GB RAM, 6GB
for Tomcat).
The Sun 64bit JVM 1.5 is about 15% faster than the 32bit for our
application.
(Running under Tomcat)
I would be happy with 1 ~ 2 GB 32bit machines! This could deliver much
faster services.
Java eats memory...
The more memory you have, the more you can cache and the less you
need to
annoy your backend.
